Michael, Thanks for responding - I did an HD install. I don't understand the difference between an HD install and a Frugal install. Does a Frugal install include a different version of Samba?
I have 256 MBytes of RAM in this machine. I am not running with the "toram" option, but straight from the IDE drive. With Slimserver, Samba, and ssh running, I was typically sitting at around 100 to 120 MBytes in use according to the SlimCD consol display - it never seemed to vary much. I saw no output on SlimCDs screen, and if I recall correctly, SlimCD was not locking up either. Windows XP File Explorer would lock up for about 3 to 5 minutes however, and then sometimes die completely after that. I could copy a single file over to the SlimCD hard drive (actually an IDE mounted flash drive.) But, if I tried to copy say ten files over, the process would freeze up completely. To SteveEast ... I had not tried the other way. I will try that. The one thing that scares me with that however is corrupting a mounted file system. I have already had a scary experience with SlimCD on a hard drive. I mounted a 750 GByte FAT32 file system (external USB HDD) and after mounting it with the "-t vfat" option, DSL corrupted it within a few seconds. It was completely unreadable after creating a "Music" folder on it. Ouch. The one caveat in this experience was that I was logged onto SlimCD via SSH from another machine when I issued the "sudo mount -t vfat ..." command. Maybe that was not a good idea. I then issued a "mkdir Music on the mounted file system" - and that was all she wrote - the file system was slagged. I had to rebuild a new FAT32 file system on the drive. I was NOT using NTFS, which I know not to do with Linux. Linux is interesting. So, I am nervous now about mounting anything except a ext2 file system under DSL or SlimCD. I am ok with that restriction, but I would like to get Samba working under Windows! This is a typical experience for me:) I seem to break everything - maybe that is why people hire me to do QA related things. -Ron -- Ron F. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ron F.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5616 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27147 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
